Love Songs, Sweet Talkers, and Very Bad Decisions

Deep Fires

Ben POV

Carlos has been hiding something from me for a while now, and I need to know.

I'm on my way to our dorm room. I hear crying. I open the door, and see Carlos crying, with a bleeding wrist.

Oh no! Has Carlos been cutting? Is he suicidal? Does he want to die?

Carlos POV

I was crying, with my razor in my hand. I see the door open, and see Ben running to me. He takes my blade, and throws it away out the window.

"Baby, don't die. No, don't die." Ben sniffles. "Baby. I can't quit you. Don't quit me."

"Ben. I'll never quit you." Carlos passed out from the crying.

Ben kissed Carlos passionately, and carried him to bed. He grabbed a pail of warm water, and a rag. He entered the rag in the water, and...

Carlos screamed out in pain.

"Carlos, it's ok. I'm here. I'm always here."
